Billionaire Buildings
The original design conceived by Pei Partnership Architects was to
of floorspace comprising
ultra-luxury apartments, restaurants, a large health club, and an observation deck. The building actually consisted of three separate towers built around a hollow interior and joined together by several sky bridges functioning as sky lobbies. On top of each sky bridge was a sky garden. One of the towers was shorter than the other two with a large outdoor pool on the roof, while the other two were topped with large spires.
According to officials at Al Nakheel, the tower was originally designed to be at least 700m tall and have more than 160 floors, © Nakheel Properties
